@ Dominick: Cool link, thanks, the Fleischers are woefully underrated. The article says about Bimbo and Betty: "Yes, Betty Boop dated a dog." they missed the little-known truth about Betty Boop: she was originally drawn as a canine herself, she looked almost the same in her very first few appearances, but with droopy, hound-dog ears.

Fleep, yes, I'm very upset about the ants but trying to control my temper. Have you tried playing country music at them?

Love me some authentic surface noise

Parq, if you are presuming I dislike country music because of the initial remark, I have some photos from the Nashville Fan Fair to show you.

i'm imagining the confused faces that would be if such a (beautifully) scratchy record came on one of those radio stations that caters to very spoiled people. (like wfuv)

@ Matt: Name inspired by the large African tribe the Watusi, now known as the Tutsi. Great early 60's dance craze, same period as the Twist, preceded the Monkey, the Crawl, the Zombie, the Frug...

@Amanda: I should also point out: my Swag came in this week--LOVE the "Zineario" fanzine I pledged for! As one who grew up without print fanzines, I find this quite the considerate gesture for your fans! Likewise happy to have a hard copy of your nice sketchwork.

Amanda:
Cool, Matt! I'm glad you liked it -- it was fun to do but so much work! I may do another one next year or sometime down the line.

@LJFW: Amanda will be talking bout the Simpsons! Anon!
Hold off a few minutes!

Amanda - Terrific show and great music. You should be on FMU every week!

Splendid coincidence Stevel! Glad that hearing the good times reminds you of your Dad.

@Nick Caputo: She is! On WFMU's Give The Drummer Radio webstream, Wednesdays at noon. I can't tune in live like I used to, but every week brings 2 hours of new Archives!

checking in from the ether... Enjoying the show tonight. Thank you Amanda! (I think I have that Banana Splits record from when I was a kid. Probably sent in some cereal box tops and a couple $ for it.)

Stevel:
RRN63:Yes. I can see it. Probably wore through the grooves on that one, especially using our Wards record player.

@ RevRab & Stevel: I was just about to ask Reverend Rabbit where that BS ep came from...through the mail from a cereal box or comic book offer is entirely possible

Mark Hamill has a great sense of humor. He voiced several scenes in "Robt Chicken Star Wars" and played himself in a "Freakazoid" short involving a character called -- of course -- Fanboy.

Cool that you had a didgeridoo for the talkover music.

Barry White - en.wikipedia.org... :
...'He also wrote "Doin' the Banana Split" for TV bubblegum act The Banana Splits in 1968.[9]'...
- So him being in one of the suits probably an urban myth, we may presume...

Matt from Springfield:
I wasn't aware that was an Australian Simpsons theme--I thought it was a modern orchestral arrangement or something, but now I notice the didgeridoo and the somewhat Celtic violin.

@Stevel: "The dime's for a dance only! But...let's say we go someplace less crowded, then we can talk, 'kay?"

Thu. 6/26/14 11:46pm
Amanda:
That's right! Mine is definitely one of those EPs. (Though I didn't have to send away for them from a Kellogg's box.)

"Amy - Amy - Amy Grant!"
When she gets home from church, she takes off her pants. That's what I like, about Amy Grant! And she plays her Barry - Barry - Barry - Barry White! :)

i certainly would've tried to get my mother to buy those cereals if i'd have known about a banana splits mail offer. I did have a bobby sherman song,cut off the cereal box itself.
...My mom rarely bought very sweet cereals.

...& we only had cold cereal on saturday mornings, so it would've taken a while to get those box tops together.
